Its says also "Book Soon : The last person got the Copley Square Hotel"

 

I am actually thinking its the Lenox (given identical ammenities from an earlier post here), and would actually prefer it to be the Lenox, but Im concerned with the Copley Square hotel reference.  Any clues?  Thx.

The "Last person got ___" information is relative the the last purchase of a hotel in this zone and star rating, NOT necessarily the specific hotel currently being offered.

With the above noted, my best guess for this one would be the Copley Square Hotel (i wouldn't exclude the Lenox from the possibilities, but i think the Copley Square Hotel is a better guess for this one)

thanks for your prompt reply.  I was afraid about that given that the Copley Sq does not have the same quality of reviews, so I think Ill pass on this one for now and keep looking for other options.  Will let you know if I decide to come back via PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.  Many thx.

Thank you for keeping us updated on what you decide and please let us know if you have questions regarding other listings.

 

Also, you can use our new service, RateDrop.com in order to get alerts on price declines for Hot.wire listings (as well as regular rates and PRICELINE EXPRESS.)

 

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

In addition to using RateDrop, given the likely high demand of the Marathon, i'd suggest booking a fully refundable back-up in the meantime... it can't hurt, but it could ultimately help.

You can use BackUpBooking.com to easily see/compare refundable rates for these dates.

Good luck and let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, book direct, cancel the trip, etc)

[97egarza]

thx for the pointers.  Will do both and let you know.  Cheers!

An update....ran the search again today and the original property at $420/night is still there, but another 4 star property appears at $531 with the following ammenities:

 

95% reccomended

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Boutique Hotel

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Restaurants

Business Center

 

Accesible to the visually impaired

 

Do you think this could be the Lenox?  It is listed at $595 in the website for a refundable rate, so not much of a break, but just curious.  I have a backup refundable reservation at the Boston Common Hotel & Conference Center at a much lower rate ($250), but its a 3 star and the reviews are horrible so I'm still on the hunt.  Just dont know if its worth it to trade up to $420 (or $531 for that matter) or continue to monitor between now and then.  Any thoughts?

I believe there were likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

To ensure you're seeing the complete list you can do either of the following:

1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button

OR

2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com) and...

• click the offer
• on the next page click the BOOK NOW link
• in the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities

Using the method(s) above this is the amenity set i'm seeing for the 4 star hotel when searching for your dates:

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Boutique

Smoke Free

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Wheelchair Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Roll-in Shower

... if this is what you're seeing my best guess for this one would be the Loews Boston Back Bay Hotel (with a less chance of the Colonnade as a possibility)

Im at it once again!  I am now looking at a 4.5* property in the Boston Common - Theater District area at $391 per night, 90% recommended.  Last bidder got the Taj Boston.  FULL AMENITIES: Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower.  From the list its looking a lot like the Taj so Im inclined to take it.  I will book it in a few and let you know.

Indeed it was the Taj.  Ended up using your HOTWIRE link at got $389 as a final price..  Very happy with the result as the hotel is right next to the Commons from where the buses depart towards the marathon start at Hopkinton and a short walk from the finish at Copley square, so perfecto location and what looks to be a very good property.  Thanks again for your help.
